B12 supplement - no change yet!

[Twitchen]

I have been taking 2 x Solgar 1000mcg Sublingual Methylcobalamin nuggets every day for about 3 weeks now, but really don't feel any different - tingling is just the same Is it safe to up the dose to 3 per day?

Last blood test I had done B12 was 268 and folate 10.8.

Am I expecting too much too soon?

Twitchen, 3 weeks is too soon to feel any improvement on 1,000mcg. I'd up to 5,000mcg a day for a month to top up or until you feel some improvement and then cut back to 2-3,000mcg. You won't OD on B12 as any excess is excreted.

Are you taking folate as welle. You should take the two together

[Twitchen in reply to crimple]

No just the B12. Folate level was 10.8, which I thought was pretty good.

Is there a reason why the two should be taken together then?

[crimple]

My understanding is that the B12 is better absorbed if you take folate at the same time. No doubt others will correct me if I am wrong about this

Oh right, will look to get some folate supplements. Thanks.
